I've been using Pinnacle Leather Conditioner for years with fantastic results. They also have a leather cleaner.

Keep in mind, you can't condition leather that is sealed in polyurethane...the best thing you can do for the little bit of actual leather in your car is keep it clean to avoid cracking the seal...otherwise your just spending money on the scent of whatever you are using...

a mix of warm water and woolite works really well

I second that. That's really all you need to clean it. You can add a protector (I use Leather Master Car Interior Leather Protection Cream) - I found it helps prevent stains (like color transfer from jeans - it had happened on my previous car)

I use the Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner and Conditioner on all my cars, I feel it works great. I unfortunately have never tried the Lexus branded offerings.

Best advice, sure to be ignored, and the one recommended in our owner's manual (although the Woolite is called "neutral wool detergent.") I follow up with a light coat of 303 protectant. Never ever had any leather cracking issues since I started to use 303 protectant on sealed leathers and vinyls in 1999.

This ^^

303 is great stuff and often overlooked. I recently tried the 303 3 in 1 leather stuff and it seems really good. Regular 303 for vinyl and plastic can't be beat.

Best recommendation for sealed leather and all the vinyl surfaces. I also use it on my tires here in Florida

Griot's to clean and 303 Protectant to protect. As stated above, the leather itself isn't actually exposed.

Anyone use Lexol? I've been using that. Leaves a nice leather smell after too if you like that.
